âWhat is it?â
âTell me, why were you avoiding me the past few days? You have to be honest with me! Could it be...you have a girlfriend now?â Qin Ya asked experimentally.
Qin Ya knew that Chen Hao didnât have a good background, and just like Tong Tong and the others said, he was incredibly boring. So how could he have a girlfriend?
âYup, I have a girlfriend!â Chen Hao nodded.
Qin Ya had misunderstood him in the first place. Yes, Chen Hao wasnât so narcissistic to think that Qin Ya would like someone like him, but the reason he was avoiding her was, in fact, because of his girlfriend!
âHuh? Youâre kidding, right?â
She didnât know why, but Qin Yaâs heart suddenly wrenched in pain.
âIâm not kidding. I really have a girlfriend now. Her name is Su Tongxin, and sheâs a broadcasting student. Weâve been dating for about two months now, but two days ago she went to Hong Kong to study!â Chen Hao smiled.
âOh, so that's what happened? I was just thinking, why were you always avoiding me? Turns out you had a girlfriend. Not bad! This also means you're taking her pretty seriously!â Qin Ya said.
âThatâs right. I really like her, and she also cares a lot about me!â
âOh, then you should go to the medical office yourself. I wonât follow you, in case your girlfriend misunderstands anything. Apart from that, Iâll tell my dad about you helping me beat those people up and heâll take care of things! Bye!â
Qin Ya waved excitedly and walked away.
âBye!â
Chen Hao didnât know why Qin Yaâs reactions from before and after were so different.
But he didnât really pay attention. Since he was reaching the medical office anyway, he went in by himself to get his injuries bandaged.
After getting bandaged, he called Tian Long and Di Hu and asked them to go deal with the Shen family.
Chen Hao had learned as he went along. Whenever he was offended, regardless of how big or small the matter was, he liked to make the first move.
This way, he could save a lot of trouble for himself.
After bandaging his injuries, Chen Hao prepared to go back to the dormitory and sleep.
âChen Hao!â
At that moment, the medical office door opened.
It was Qin Ya, who was holding onto a bag of fruits.
âFor you!â
Qin Ya said in a slightly huffy manner.
To be honest, Qin Ya really didnât understand her own emotions right now.
Why?
No matter from which angle she thought about it from, Qin Ya did not have to treat Chen Hao like this.
But who knew? Sometimes, affection was hard to understand and make sense of.
Qin Ya didnât even know when she started feeling a strange kind of affection toward Chen Hao.
She just wanted to see him, understand him, and spend time with him.
Maybe it was when Chen Hao gave her that jade bracelet. That jade bracelet was his family heirloom, and giving it to her must have been a form of confessing to her.
Wasnât a 'confession' a way to increase the affection someone felt for another?
It might come from a stranger, or maybe a best friend.
The moment they confessed, the relationship between the two would definitely start to change.
If the other person didnât particularly dislike you, then the relationship between the two would also start to feel more romantic.
Obviously, Qin Ya was like that right now.
She had already felt thankful and curious toward Chen Hao, and now with his confession, Qin Ya couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to be together with him.
She felt as though Chen Hao would treat her really well.
But this sort of expectation was way too different from reality, and a girl as competitive as Qin Ya would want to achieve that expectation, no matter how outlandish.
Of course, the premise of everything was that this person was attractive enough for a girl to feel interested in them in the first place.
That was why Qin Ya got onto Li Yueâs car yesterday. She had wanted to see if Chen Hao would get agitated by it.
That was also why Qin Yafelt slightly sad when she heard that Chen Hao already had a girlfriend.
And that was also why Qin Ya left initially, but returned after buying fruits for Chen Hao!
âYou went to buy fruits for me?â
Chen Hao accepted them.
âItâs because you fought for me, thatâs why I bought them for you. Donât overthink it!â
Qin Ya rolled her eyes and glanced at Chen Hao, saying, âAlso to prevent your girlfriend from misunderstanding when she hears about it!â
âHehe, no problem. I am not overthinking it!â Chen Hao laughed.
âRight, Chen Hao. Since you said we were friends just now, then let me ask you something. What do you think about Li Yue?â
Chen Hao had already walked out of the medical office.
Qin Ya walked with him as they talked.
Li Yue?
Hehe, Chen Hao was beginning to realize that this person was extremely two-faced, so he couldnât be a good person!
What was more, he even dared to betray Qin Ya.
Then he shook his head. âHe's not the best. Qin Ya, as friends, I advise you to stay away from him from now on!â
âWhy?â Qin Ya said angrily.
âBecause he really doesnât deserve you!â
âWell, I feel like Li Yue treats me pretty well! At least he doesnât let me down or make me wait for him all alone, and whenever I call him he will definitely show up by my side immediately. I also believe that for me, he can do anything. Why is he 'not the best' ?â Qin Ya retorted.
âJust believe me. Even now, the reason you got tangled up with Shen Qiang is related to him. Just be careful!â
Chen Hao couldnât tell her about Li Yueâs situation today, since he wasn't the one who had seen everything personally.
But this person was nothing good, and that was for sure.
However, Qin Ya got angry.
âWhat do you mean? Do you mean that no one treats me wholeheartedly, and I canât ever find a boy who genuinely treats me well?â
âThatâs not what I meant!â
âThatâs exactly what you mean! Donât worry, very soon, I will find a boy who treats me genuinely. Then I will bring him to you, to prove to youââ
Qin Ya wanted to sayâIt isnât just you who is willing to do anything for me!
But then, she remembered that Chen Hao already had a girlfriend, so there was no use in saying all this.
Chen Hao also didnât know what to say.
So he replied, âThen I hope you find a boy who really loves you one day.â
âThank you!â
Qin Ya breathed in and turned around, preparing to leave.
âI canât finish these fruits, so why donât you bring some back to your dormitory to eat?â
âThereâs no need! Since you canât eat them, then give them to me!â
After that, Qin Ya snatched the fruits from Chen Hao and threw them into the dustbin beside them.
âAlso! As friends, I hope you will not randomly give your most precious belonging to other girls. That will cause misunderstandings! Of course, not in my case. But just for other girls you might meet in the future!â
After that, Qin Ya just walked away.
Chen Hao also understood.
He realized that Qin Ya was talking about the jade bracelet. Sigh. He should have known not to beat around the bush so much for a lie.
Chen Hao went back to his dormitory.
He lay down and fell asleep.
Tomorrow he had to take his exam. What would happen from today onward⦠well, who could tell?
He had just prepared to sleep.
Suddenly, he received some messages.
Are you asleep? I still want to talk to you, I canât sleep!
I feel like I went too far today, I shouldnât have thrown the fruits in the trash.
But then, I was really mad!
Are you there? Chen Hao.
